That is What the Republican Party 1
Ha? Shown Itself.
LABOR LAWS OF FORTY YEARS
, Sewing Women, Miners, Motormen, i
Slate Pickers, Children, All Classes '
of Bread Winners, Are Protected By I
!
1 Laws Passed By Republican Legis
latures.
Prom Our Own Correspondent.
Philadelphia. Sept. lt>. —One of the
j most important features of the pres
ent campaign will be a showing of the
; part that the Republican party has
played in the lite ol the workingman
!of Pennsylvania. It is a marvelous
Ihowing.
The present reign of prosperity,
! shared alike by every toiler, whether |
1 it be in mill, forge, factory or on the j
farm, can be traced to the wise audi
! beneficent working of national laws j
; enacted alike for the protection of la- j
j bor and capital. The Republican par- |
i ty in the nation has ever been the I
staunch friend of the workingman. 1
I The Republican party in the state has !
emphasized this by enacting laws cov- :
j ering a period of 35 years, for the com- j
j fort, convenience and protection of i
| the working man and woman. There !
: has been compiled within the past
I week a complete list of. labor laws!
' passed in Pennsylvania by Republican i
j legislatures since the close of the Civil |
War that is one of the most remark- j
able things of its kind In existence. i
Pennsylvania leads every state in
: the character of its tabor legislation,
i Nearly 100 bills directly affecting the j
J men. women and children of the state |
j who earn their living by the sweat of
! their brows have been enacted in the 1
! past 3." years.
1 WOMAN AND THE SEWING MA j
CHINE.
At the close of the Civil War Indus- ;
i trial and commercial enterprises were
in a more or less chaotic state. Thou- ;
sands of widows, mothers and daugh- j
I ters of soldiers were compelled to eek
| out a living as seamstresses and dress- '
makers. One of the first laws passed
| by the legislature of 18fi9 was an act
i to exempt sewing machines belonging
| to seamstresses from levy and sale on
| execution or distress for rent,
j At this time the great anthracite
I coal regions of the state were just be- '
1 ginning their period of development, i
i There were practically no laws look
j iug to the protection of human life in
i the mines, and it was a Republican
legislature that took up this subject ;
] at this time, and during all of the sue- I
| ceeding years has passed laws whose j
| object has been the protection of life |
j and limb of the toilers in the darkness
of the mine.
On page 852 of the pamphlet laws of ;
| 18t>9 will be found one of the first min- j
1 ing laws enacted, entitled "An Act for
| the Better Regulation and Ventilation
| of Mines, and for the Protection of
i the Lives of Miners in Schuylkill ]
I County."
This was only the beginning:. It 1
J was followed by a general law for the ;
j saftjty and health of persons employed
jin coal mines, passed in 1870. In the
! same year laws were passed for the
■ protection of miners in various coun- \
j ties of the state.
| in 1872 an act for the better protec
j tion of the wages of mechanics, miners, !
laborers and others was passed, as
well as a bill providing "For the Es
tablishment of a Bureau of Statistics !
on the Subject of Labor and for Other
Pur pones." i P. L. 1872, page 59.)
In all the years up to the present j
there have been numerous similar en- i
actments. In 1572 one of the most im- j
portant measures ever enacted into a
law. the record of which can be found
in the pamphlet laws for 1872, on page j
1,175. was the act to relieve laborers,
workingmen and journeymen from ,
certain prosecutions and indictments ]
for conspiracy under the criminal laws
of the commonwealth. This act has j
conserved the liberty of thousands of j
wage earners in Pennsylvania in the j
past 3u years.
PROTECTING BREAD-WINNERS.
It was the Republican party in the ;
legislative session of 187-1 that passed j
a law in relation to suits for wages, j
preventing stay of execution on judg- j
ments obtained for HOO or less.
It was a Republican legislature that |
appropriated the first money to aid in
the erection and maintenance of an i
anthracite hospital in Pennsylvania. !
This was in 1874.
England, with all its boasted civili- I
zatlon of centuries, is away behind
Pennsylvania in the protection of |
women and children in their employ- !
j mont. South Carolina today is a blot I
on the mail of the south because of j
Its absence of laws prohibiting the !
employment of children, and its lax !
legislation regarding the employment
of women in various industries. In i
1878 one of the most stringent laws 1
enacted by any legislature related to
the employment of females in hotels
taverns, saloons and eating houses or
other places for the sale of tntoxicat
! ing and other drinks. It was a Penn
| sylvania Republican legislature that
1 passed a law prohibiting female labor
in and about the coal mines and manu
factories thereof, and for the preserva
tion of the health of female employes
In manufacturing, mechanical and
mercantile establishments.
All through the years in which the
Republican party has been in power in
; Pennsylvania it has endeavored to see
, that full and ample justice has been
| done by employers, whether Arms, cor-
porations or individuals, to the cltiseas
! i t the state in their employ. It was at
the session of 1-878 (hat a lsw was pass
{ ed fixing the standard weight of a bush
■el of bituminous coal. It was during
; the session of 1881 that the law was
passed seeming to operatives and la
borers engaged in and about coal
mines, manufactories of iron and steel
and all otner manufactories, the pay
, ment of their wages at regular lnter
' vals and in lawful money of the United
' States.
REGUL.AR PAY DAYS.
This is one of the most important
laws ever enacted. Middle-aged men
today remember the conditions that ex
isted prior to the passage of this act.
Employes, often of large concerns,
were frequently deprived of their earn
ings tor from 30 to 60 days; often only
paid in part and frequently with script,
store orders or other alleged equiva
lents of value. The passage of this
law made compulsory the payment to
every employe, every working man
| and woman, the wages due him or her
; in lawful money of the country and at
S stated intervals.
' Every field of labor has been covered
| by Republican laws enacted by Repub
| llcan legislatures. The law limiting
i the hours of labor of conductors, driv
: ers and employes of horse, cable and
| electric railways, was passed by the
' legislature of 1887. The legislature of
that year struck the final blow at child
! labor in this state by prohibiting the
employment of any child under the
age of 12 years by any Individual, firm
or company, to do any work in any
mill, manufactory or mine, or any
' work pertaining thereto.
Going a step beyond the mere enact
ment of laws protecting coal miners.
| the assembly of 1889 enacted the law
: compelling the examination of miners
in the anthracite region for the pur
pose of preventing the employment of
I incompetent persons in those mines.
The factory law of the state which
regulates the employment and provid-
I ed for the safety of women and chil
dren in mercantile industries and man
i ufacturing establishments, and to pro
vide for the appointment of inspectors
to enforce this law, became operative
through the action of the legislature of
j 1889.
ALL CLASSES PROTECTED.
So the long line of beneficial laws
! might be continued. 'J ue toiler in the
tenement house, the woman in the
store, the mechanic at the bench, the
young woman at the cigar table, the
1 worker in the mine, the puddler in the
mill, all enjoy whatever of comfort,
convenience and protection they have
'to the wisdom of Republican legisla
i tors and the efforts of Republican
statesmen.
